The South

by Milky

Amber ponies wandered across the veranda in fine Southern style, drinking lazily of lemonade and whisky, that hot Southern afternoon, as the nearby fields of cotton sang a song of Dixie and their honeysuckle sounds dripped down like thick, slow molasses and the delightful splash they made on the ears was not unlike that of a watermelon which has had all it;s rosy treasure sucked out through one tiny Southern hole by a young boy with a lazy smile and golden locks, tired and thirsty after a long day of being Southern, and said watermelon having been refilled with the sweetest Southern honey, and the watermelon taken up the long, lazy amber golden syrupsuckle sweet fine old trail up top that old mountain, and lazily tossed down from it's grand old syruppy raindrop powderpuff sweetfruit melonsandwich peak, and the sound of the honey-filled watermelon lazily breaking apart into hundreds of billions of tiny Southern fragments, and the honey slowly splooshing and slowly meandering off, as Grandma and Grandpa watch from the veranda, Grandma sipping her lemonade and gently swaying back in forth in her fine old oak rocking chair, Grandpa concentrating gently on his whittling of some sturdy Southern elm, so deep in his hard, lazy work that he doesn't notice as Grandma's fine old Southern neck is gently slit by a shard of ripe old honeydew watermelon skin, and as her fine old Southern blood slowly trickles out of her new wound, and drip drip drips like some sweet old molasses down onto her clean, white shawl, the patch of red lazily spreading across the entire veranda, and when Grandpa finally does notice the dark red pools, he nods with dignified Southern simplicity at the manner in which they so beautifully reflect the amber heavenly honeysuckle dripdrop gardenhose backstab hopscotch kriskross gangrene grapefruit pigsickle smallstraight cherrywood glendale forestbrook amberlea mapleridge westshore bayridges rays of the slow, lazy rays of the big old Southern sun, as they gently trickle down from the heavens.
